Friedrich’s artwork was usually inspired by his traumatic childhood and/ or his flight from Nazi Austria and the holocaust, and his loss of family and friends. He was absolutely fascinated by faces. In one of his very many poems, he wrote: Looking at a face I can see through space.The road it had to race
See the infant child
Dreamy and wild
The turbulent girl
I see in each curl
Inside their eyes I see
What they saw
A long time ago

These pieces are 3 - 5 cm in height
